The files came from the customer. I presume they are
the customer's files. If the writer or project lead
protected them, then left the company, doesn't the
customer (and the consultant they hire) have the right
to get into them? I don't see why you assume there's
some kind of anti-copyright funny business going on
here. I guess there might be, but there's nothing in
Steve's note to warrant that assumption.
